Fairy Hidden in the Dark

by HaremLover0147

Naruto, a young boy betrayed by those that he trusted, follow him as he now lies and kills to protect his new guild and family from his old one. Along the way he may even find something that he thought that he had lost, at the same time that he lost his parents to the Dark Guild that burned his home to the ground.

2. Chapter 2

Fairy Hidden in the Dark, a Naruto and Fairy Tail Crossover

Author's Note: There is not too much to say other than I am sorry that this chapter has taken so long, I had the idea, but when it came down to putting it on paper I could not get it to work. I had to rework this chapter along with my DBZ story, so I put this one on the back burner for a while, hoping that inspiration would hit and I would be able to breeze through it.

So I am telling about Naruto's time with Grimoire Heart a little bit, and I will go into more detail involving his magic. I will say this, after reading some of the reviews that I have gotten I decided to make it clear right away that Naruto does NOT have a form of Dragon Slayer Magic, but there is a similarity, thus the reason for the claw in the magic circle.

Review Review

Ejammer: Yeah, that is not happening. There are too many Naruto Dragonslayer stories (not to say that there are not good ones) so I wanted to do something different

Mzr90: Sorry but I planned on using Erza from the start, however I have another idea for a second Naruto x Fairy Tail crossover and that one will be a harem. This will include Erza and Mira, but also Cana, maybe a second Erza and a very special (I think never before used) person, so there is that to look forward to. Sorry about Lucy but I can't seem to like her enough to write her in a harem story, and I feel that she is the comic relief/voice of reason to the absurdity of the Harem.

Insanemaelstorm: While the magic will be unique for the Fairy Tail world, it will be made up of abilities that I have seen from other animes. I do have a tough time writing my Naruto as himself and not as an OC but I feel that in a crossover it is more forgivable, because of the fact that he was raised differently and in a different place, you know all that 'nature vs nurture' stuff.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Fairy Tail, nor any of the other animes that I may show elements of

*Wham*

Naruto was sprawled out on the ground looking up at the young girl that was standing above him. She had dark hair, that she had just recently started growing out. She stared down at him with cold cruel eyes as the lacrima orb that Master Hades had given her was floating around her. Her name was Ultear and she was one of the newly recruited members of Grimoire Heart's Seven Kin of Purgatory.

"Pathetic." She was always angry, especially with him, but she was always over the top when it involves the training of the possible Purgatory members. "Master Hades has already explained to you what the purpose of this exercise is, correct?"

"Yes," they have had this conversation multiple times and the only reason that he can figure that she repeatedly says this to him is because she knows how much he hates it. "But just because I know what the exercise is for, does not mean that I will master the exercise in such a short amount of time."

"Three days is not a short amount of time. All you have to do is to dodge and not defend against the lacrima, and it is not that hard to do as long as you are focused."

Naruto knew already what he was supposed to be doing; Master Hades had reviewed him and said that he was not up to the proper level that is expected of a Kin of Purgatory. The next day Master Hades had informed Naruto that he will be training with different members of Grimoire Heart and that he was expected to be at the proper level within two years.

Naruto always thought that Master Hades was over estimating what his abilities were, but he could not confront him about it. Thus he was forced to train under these harsh conditions, training six days a week with six different people and the last day is the rest day. Rest day was just a nice term, what it actually was however was the day when Naruto was expected to read strategies, study battle plans and review ancient wars.

"Stop daydreaming and prepare for the next training session." Hearing Ultear's stern voice Naruto could not help but sigh as he remembered back to the easier times, like when he was picking his magic style.

Flashback 770 Grimoire Heart Guild

"Master Hades what are we doing here?" Naruto asked as they walked around a large room filled with many types of books. He was a little overwhelmed at the sheer amount of books, easy to understand considering he had never been in a library this large. "I thought that we were going to find out what my magic style is?"

"We are," Master Hades responded as he led Naruto over to a smaller area in the library, "you are here to pick out one of these lost magics, so that we can get closer to the ultimate, the one true magic. I saw when you used your magic before that you revealed a magic circle. Do you remember what the magic circle looked like?"

"Um…yeah a little bit, but why does that matter? I mean, can't I just pick out any type of magic to learn?"

"You could, but the reason that I wanted to know if you remembered is because that is your true magic."

"Wait, so does that means that the key to the true magic is me?"

"No, that is YOUR true magic, I am looking for THE true magic. Your true magic is the magic that your body naturally response to, and it is the magic that you will have the best and fastest results with."

"But I could learn a different type of magic if I wanted to?"

"In theory you could, however, I would recommend that you search for the type that have already used. The thing that makes you interesting is that I believe that your natural magic is a lost magic. That is the main reason that I recruited you into my guild; in all of my years I have never seen someone who used a lost magic as you did."

Naruto was shocked, he knew that when he first used his magic that he had done something unusual, but he never would have believed that he had done something that would have been labeled as unique.

'Then I guess the only reason that Master Hades intervened was because he thought that I might have some use. Well I guess since he has power he can do whatever he wants with it.'

"So Master Hades the best magic for me to use is the one that I used against those men?"

"No, that is not necessarily the best magic for you to use, however it will be the one that your body has the easiest time to learn."

"Huh?"

*sigh* "What that means is that you will have the easiest time performing this sort of magic, but you could learn a second or different type of magic, though it will take more work and effort. Ah, here is this the magic circle that you saw?"

Master Hades handed Naruto a brown book with a familiar claw-like hand on the cover, and he had it turned to a page that depicted a magic circle that greatly resemble the one that Naruto had used.

"Yes that is the one."

"Good then tomorrow you will begin training in this style of magic, for today you can wander and explore. But after today all of your free time will be dedicated towards training."

Yeah that was a much easier time, the next day Naruto was given a book, smaller in size than the one that Master Hades had shown him the day before, and it was newer. It seemed that Master Hades had someone make him a copy of the first half of the book, so that he could focus on the basics and not get too far ahead of himself. It may have also been done to help preserve the original book.

That very day he began work on developing his magic, but it still took him two weeks before he was able to produce any results. What's more is that the next time he produced a magic circle it was different from the first time.

Flashback 770 Grimoire Heart Guild

"Come on, come on." Naruto was sweating and breathing hard, over the past two weeks he had learned to feel out the magic energy inside of himself and was now working on bringing it out. The difficult part was that at the moment he did not know what sort of form or property the magic will take. It was similar to a colorblind man trying to describe what red looked like.

"That's it! I can't do this anymore!" Just as Naruto let out his yell of frustration a flash of light in front of him caught his attention. Looking forwards, Naruto saw that the light was coming from a newly formed magic circle, but it did not look the same as the one that he had seen before. This new magic circle was a very light blue, almost white in color, and instead of having a claw, it showed the image of a fist.

"What in the world does this mean? I finally get a magic circle and it is the wrong one!?" Not understanding what had happened, Naruto decided to go and talk to Master Hades and hope that he would be able to give him some answers. Leaving the training area that he had been working in for the past couple of days, he soon found himself at Master Hades study.

After being allowed to enter into the room, Naruto began to tell Master Hades what had happened and asked if he knew what he had done wrong.

"What you did wrong? What makes you think that you have done something wrong?"

Naruto kept staring at Master Hades wondering what he was talking about. He had summoned a different magic circle than the one that he was attempting to use, so it is obvious that he had done something wrong.

"B-because I did not use the right magic circle. It was completely different, the color and images were different and there was no surge of strength like before. There was nothing, I am not even sure whether I did magic or if I just somehow made the circle appear."

*sigh*"Foolish child, you have once again shown your naivety to the ways of magic." Master Hades suddenly changed from "Now boy think, if you did mess up, tell me what you think could have caused your mistake or what do you think the different magic circle means?" Naruto thought for a moment before he responded to that.

"Well I thought that perhaps I somehow used a different type of magic."

"Unlikely, you must remember that you were training in your natural magic, and what is the chance of a young boy like yourself, studying one type of magic and unlocking another?"

"Alright, well the other thing was that I felt no different, the first time that I used the magic I was overcome with this sudden desire to fight."

"In the situation that you were in the first time that you use d magic it is not surprising that you felt something of the sort. You must remember that the first time you were trouble, you knew that there was a high possibility that you could die. You knew that and your body and magic reacted to that, by releasing adrenaline and causing your magic to break out of your body."

"So does that mean that I did the magic correctly?"

"Partially, you were able to access the magic circle and that is the first step towards the complete mastery of this magic. The next thing that you need to work on is the ability to use your magic when you need it. Until you are access your magic within a second you will not be given the next step to your magic."

Flashback End 775

Naruto knew that it would be useless to try and persuade Master Hades to change his mind, so he did as he was told and began to learn how to use his magic at a moment's notice. It would be another three weeks before he had enough control over his magic to convince Master Hades to give him the next part of the instructions.

The second set of instructions provided more information on what type of magic he was learning. When he read the description of what his magic was supposed to do he was not the happiest. The simple explanation for the basic steps of his magic was to build up his physical strength and increase his bodies durability; it was important to do this because the magic that Naruto was using was the ability to harden his muscles to an extreme degree.

Naruto was unhappy with this choice in magic, and he even went to Master Hades about it. Master Hades did not react in a shocked fashion, which made Naruto believe that Master Hades knew that he was going to get frustrated. All he did was wait until Naruto was done with his ranting and then asked him if he remembered what happened to the man that killed his mother.

Flashback 2 years ago Grimoire Heart Guild

"Of course I remember, sometimes I have nightmares about him and what I ended up doing to him." Naruto felt himself become a little queasy at the memory of the man's jaw being ripped from his head.

"Now that is the true power that you can obtain if you continue to learn this magic; this is only the first step towards achieving a greater power."

Naruto did not know how to respond to that so he waited to be dismissed and then went back to his training. It was a full month later that he had the basics down. He could now harden his body for ten seconds, and while he had his body harden the grunts that wandered around the Guild could punch him and he normally wouldn't feel it. He continued with his regular training for another week, but then Master Hades decided that his magic would be more effective if he had more muscle on his body. That started another series of intense training; Naruto would wake at five in the morning and train for ten hours straight with only enough time for breakfast and lunch. Once his training was over for the day he would then move on to the other new thing that Master Hades had started having him do.

Naruto hated studying, and he was not quiet about his dislike for it. Master Hades had told him that his magic was the type to effect the body and as such he needed to know when to use it and how to use it to his advantage. This schedule went on for a whole year.

Flashback End 775

It was after that year of training that Master Hades started adding more onto Naruto's already full schedule. Master Hades knew of the fact that Naruto had to tighten his muscles to defend himself, so he could not move until after the attack was over with. This is the reason that Naruto began to work with a sword, but he did not find it as necessary as Master Hades did.

While Naruto understood the reason that Master Hades suggested the additional training, he did not like the idea of someone, regardless of who it is, doubting his skill and strength. Naruto continued with his training, and he soon realized that his days were full with nothing but training, eating or sleeping. In the mornings after breakfast he would be doing physical exercises, after lunch he would begin studying types of magic that he may encounter, so that he would know how to counter them, and after supper he would practice with the sword. It was horrible, so much so that he begged Master Hades for a break, and to his surprise he was given one, with certain conditions. While on his break he was to take care of a matter for Master Hades.

Flashback Start 774

Naruto was ten years old now, and he was on his first official mission. Master Hades had been somehow loose with the terms of the mission, he was to either eliminate the target or to have the target rejoin Grimoire Heart. When Naruto asked what the targets name was all he was told was to look for the 'E'.

He did not know what that means, but he put his faith in Master Hades, and he was sure that there would not be that many people here. And by here he means in the valley of terror, not his first choice for a first mission location, but he was happy that he was going to get some time off from all of his training. All he had to do was find this guy with the 'E' on him and get him to rejoin the Grimoire Heart guild, and if he is unable to do that then he will have to eliminate him. No problem.

That was until he found the bodies, Naruto was looking for the mystery 'E', when he stumbled across the remains of a small family of people. The bad news was that they were all dead and from the looks of it they died a painful death, but the good news was that he found the 'E' that he was looking for. The bodies all had what looked like a large 'E' shaped hole carved into their bodies, and what made it even more disturbing was the fact that on the ground underneath them there was a blood splatter in the shape of an 'E'.

"Are you the one who did this?"

Turning around Naruto saw something that would terrify him for many years to come, standing before him with both of his hands clenched into fist was the ace of Fairy Tail, Gildarts and he was pissed.

Author's Note:

First l would like to apologize for not updating is so long, I decided to take February off so that I could relax and then i was supposed to have the house worked on, but that did not happen for another two months. Well when I realized that it was going to be a while to get the stuff in the house done I brought my computer back to the house and started working. Unfortunately that leads to March where I bought a new puppy and was spending a lot of my free time playing with him, but that was not all there was an 'incident' at work that resulted in me working overtime. Finally there was April when I was having computer trouble and so I went out and bought a new computer but I could not find the office software for another week. All in all by the time I got started working on the stories for real I decided why not wait until my birthday and I will make it to where I reach my 100,000th word on my birthday so that is what happened.

I know, it has been over half a year and this is all that I have to show for this story, but the good news is that once I get to the part where Naruto is in Fairy Tail it will be so much easier to write. For the time being it will be difficult to write on this story but hopefully the next chapter won't take as long as this one did.
